[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished a wildly uncomfortable beach house "vacation" with ILs, including some nice playing favorites with room allocations. I need catharsis - tell me your worst stories, or just confess your pettiness and misanthropy![/quote]

Since the worst of it, things have gotten better with my in-laws. They were never openly bad but I was hostile for a couple (maybe a few) years in there and now am more annoyed often but largely just try to acknowledge/appreciate the good (and there is some).

But, when we first found out we were pregnant and it looked to be sticking (after several miscarriages), we told my inlaws but explained, it was early and it was private/personal news just for the family. We visited them when I was just barely 15 weeks and on our way home from the airport we stopped to get gas. The attendant squealed "OH MY GOD, YOU ARE HAVING THE GRAND BABY" When we left, I was like "who is that? are you very close with her?" Yes, my MIL had gotten gas there before but she didn't even know the lady's name. Of course, the house was filled with baby stuff her "gals" had taken her out to buy in a celebratory shopping trip. (Stuff that never really got used because we didn't go there that much with our newborn baby.)

I think it may not have been such a bitter pill to swallow if the pregnancy had been easy and free of scares but it wasn't. There were some serious problems so that upped my wanting her to never speak to me again for a few months. [/quote]
